Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitter would have seen this yesterday. You see, I was rubbing my new iPad against my body and accidentally opened up the TIME Magazine app. It’s a much celebrated iPad app and you can see why. This pic was captured as one of their five best pics of the […]
All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel.

“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]
You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]
I sent the incredibly awesome “Drummer Guy” video to Dom (The Blonde) and Dave (Baby Jesus) of Goldfish fame, before I put it up on 2oceansvibe the other day. I emailed it to them with the subject, “a gift for you – thank me later.” They responded that it was, indeed, genius. So today, Dom […]

My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!).

Check it out, there’s this new website that is linked to Twitter. It’s called “Twitures” and it let’s you just look at just the pictures of a specific user. See what they did there with the name?

My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]

Congratulations Deán Stassen! 2oceansvibe.com is VERY at home on […]

By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings. Ubiquitous annual jaunts to south of France, LA and the med notwithstanding, tearing myself away from The Safe House and the majesty of Cape Town is not an activity I enter into lightly. Hence a trip […]
Just recently someone asked me why I am so focused on the iPad. “Hahahaha,” I said unto him, “you’re hysterical!” I focus on the iPad because it’s important. I focus on the iPad because there is a new shift in media and technology and delivery, which effects us all. I don’t even need to get […]
